I recall my visit to Selv/yn House for the
Academic Prize-giving v;ith genviine pleasure. The
impression I then received of an on-going academic
community, in wliich Governors and Staff and parents
and boys all shared vTith pride and enthusiasm remains
with me, and I renew my congr^/tulations.
There are fev/ things so good as a good school.
The education it gives is not simply in tilings
academic but also in those tilings which go to
form the character, and influence the personality
of the developing lad and of the man v/ho is to be.
That is why I was very glad to observe throughout
the whole school a healthy regard for sports and for
community spirit, as well as a very lively respect for
academic achievement.
Educational patterns are changing in this province
with great rapidity and we all v^armly welcome the fact
that the public school system is being re-examined and
greatly improved. But however good the public system
of education, there will, I believe, always be alongside
it a place for private schools with their own aims and
emphases and character. You stand in a great tradition
and I trust you will long maintain it.

Editorial
The very fact that we are the graduating class of the school has caused
the boys of the Senior Form to pause and reflect over their years at Selwyn
House. For many of us, this June will mark the culmination of eleven years at
the school. We hove placed our complete trust and faith in the values that have
been given to us and now these values will begin to be severely tested. It will
soon be very clear to us all what Selwyn House has achieved for us and what
It has not, but the influence, good or bad, that it has hod will always remain
conspicuous.
The transformation that the school has undergone from the time that
we first entered it is astounding. Eleven years ago, the school, situated on
Redpoth Street, had a third of the number of pupils that it has today, and had
only nine grades. The activities at that time, though basically the same as
those carried on to-day, had a much different atmosphere to them. Cricket and
soccer were then played, the former no longer in today's programme, and the
latter largely replaced by football. We spent four years in the old building
before the turning point in the history of the school, the move to new premises
in Westmount. Larger and far superior facilities were now available, enabling
Selwyn House to expand its size and its programme to keep pace with the
demands of modern education. The next step was completed in 1963 with the
graduation of the first Junior Matriculation class. Thus the pattern has been
one of sweeping change, and the future appears to be bright with additional
facilities promised.
Like the Canadian nation whose birthday it helped celebrate, Selwyn
House is at a critical moment in its history. On the occasion of its own anni-
versary, its sixtieth, the school can fake pride in its progress; much, however,
remains to be done. We feel that the school must persist in continually adopting
to the changes and needs of modern education. Methods in use eleven years
ago may to-day be obsolete. Greater student involvement and participation
in the decision making processes of the school would be a step in the right
direction, as would greater communication between educator and educated.
The pupils' must be confident that the faith they place in the school will be
rewarded by a programme best suited to their needs.

Board and Staff
We were sorry to lose the valuable services of Mr. H. R. Davis and
Mr. J. M. McDougall from the Board of Governors. Mr. Davis had acted as
Honorary-Secretory of the Board for many years and Mr. J. M. McDougall had
headed the Building Committee. We shall miss their worthy contributions very
greatly and would like to record our gratitude to them for all the extra efforts
they have made on the school's behalf.
To replace them we are happy to welcome Mrs. Harvey Walford and
Mr. Lome Webster and look forward to a long and happy association with them
in the direction of the school.
As staff replacements in September we welcomed Mrs. Lorna Grundy,
who is a graduate of Havergal College and the Lakeshore Teachers' College,
Toronto; Dr. Ferenc Andoi, who holds a doctorate in History from the University
of Budapest; Mr. Neufville Shaw, who was head of the Science Department at
Pierrefonds; Mr. Larry Eldridge, a graduate of Bishop's University and specialist
in physical education; Mr. Barry Stevens, who had been teaching in Connaught
School for the past three years and Mr. Jeremy Riley, on Old Boy of Selwyn
House and a graduate of Sir George Williams University. We have been very
grateful to them all for their outstanding services to the school throughout this
year and regret that Dr. Andai will not be with us in September. In addition
to his schoolroom duties he has been most active in fostering a History Club
which has been a most successful addition to our school activities. Also leaving
at this time is Mr. Hugh Spencer who has been teaching in the Middle School
for the past three years. We are most grateful to both these gentlemen for all
they have done at Selwyn House and extend to them our very best wishes for
every success and happiness in the future.

SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE
Annual Academic Prizegiving
June 1967
On the 9th June, once more, the annual prizegiving was held in the
school gymnasium in afternoon and evening sessions with our accommodation
being taxed to capacity on both occasions. In the afternoon our guest of honour
was Doctor Alan G. Thompson, Senior Surgeon at the Montreal General Hospital;
again we were impressed >with the great ability of the medical profession to
speak to a youthful audience and, at the same time, deliver a valuable mes-
sage which all could understand and appreciate. After his address Dr. Thompson
presented the prizes to the Junior school and to forms I and II.
In the evening we were honoured to have as our guest Dean Stanley B.
Frost, of the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research at McGill University.
Dean Frost warned his audience to be "extremely vigilant" so as to safe-guard
and preserve characteristics of the Anglo-Canadian way of life in the province's
education system. "We have a system of education well-suited to our purposes,"
he said "and it has preserved for us those values of honesty and service, per-
sonal responsibility and intellectual freedom which we, as English-Speaking
Canadians have learned to prize very highly." Dean Frost emphasised that
schoolmostering has been and will continue to be one of the great professions
and the essential thing in school life, he added, is the personal relations between
teachers and taught, of master and student, the communication of minds.
The following are the afternoon's and evening's programmes and
awards:—

CHRISTMAS ENTERTAINMENT
8th December 1967
Once again Mr Phillips and the choirs gave an excellent display of their
musical ability, opening the evening's entertainment on a happy note. Again
the time for preparation was very limited but this in no way detracted from
the excellence of their performance; great credit is due to them all for achieving
such fine results.
The Junior School play, An Unfinished Tale, was an ably performed
excerpt from Dickens' Oliver Twist. It would be difficult to find a more enthusiastic
or convincing advertisement for any book. The ploy would be valued by any
press agent, not to mention dramatist. When Mrs Marsh is the producer we
always anticipate the best.
"La Lettre Chorgee" was one of the most ardently received French plays
this school has presented. Superbly and, perhaps more important, naturally
performed it was a great success and much favourable comment was heard from
the audience at the interval.
Finally, the English play, "Refund", easily maintained the high standard
set for the evening. This play closed the curtain on on enjoyable evening.
Special thanks should go to Mr. Moodey for his invaluable and untiring
help in the rehearsals and for his faultless organisation to which wc hove
become so accustomed at all school events.

The Choir
At the annual prizegiving, awards for distinction in the various choirs
were made as follows:
Forms 3 Christopher Noble.
Forms 2 Geoffrey Hale.
Forms 1 William Gould.
Forms A Richard Donald.
Forms B Christopher Shannon.
All these boys are to be congratulated on their success.
During the present school year, a special choir chosen from boys in
Forms 3 and 2, after being successfully auditioned in the Victoria Hall, was
honoured by being asked to sing at Expo in the Place des Nations on the oc-
casion of Westmount Day. The Choir performed supremely well under the most
deplorable conditions, and this event is one that we shall long remember.
We were again asked to provide a choir to sing on Tween Set, and the
"Expo" choir performed some New Year's music well, but without quite recap-
turing the spirit of their earlier effort.
22 SELWYNHOUSESCHOOLMAGAZINE
Soloists were Jay Rankin, Geoffrey Hale, Eric Sutton, Gerry Miller,
Gregory Merrick, Frank Nemec, Ion McKenzie, Bill Gould and Campbell Gordon.
Points won by the various houses at the time of writing are as follows:
Speirs 155 Lucas & Macaulay 98 Wanstall 82.
We would welcome the gift of a shield that could be presented at the
Prizegiving to the winning house as a tribute to the efforts of its members in
all the various choirs during the year.
Centennial '67
A Selwyn House Project
To discuss the entire seven weeks would require substantial space, and
to avoid a long dissertation, only the highlights of the trip will follow.
Prior to the actual trip, the group (Mr. Ashworth, Mr. Burgess, John
Grossman and Steven Kirkegard) journeyed to Vermont for a trial run. The
future of the Centennial project looked pretty dim at first; however, most of the
minor obstacles were removed at this time.
Departure, June 28, 1967. All preparations were completed, and a
reporter arrived from The Westmount Examiner to obtain the story. Finally,
we were on our way to Toronto.
In Toronto, we stayed with Mr. Ashworth's brother, and "ironed out"
a few more camping problems. From Toronto, we travelled to Stratford and saw
Richard III performed. This proved to be extremely interesting, and our "Appre-
ciation of Shakespeare doubled; it was like seeing print come to life." After
the Festival, we toured Stratford, noting the architecture, and then moved on
to Sudbury.
In Sudbury, the Rev. Murray Bradford showed the group great considera-
tion. In our brief stay, we discovered his specialities were good humour, mar-
tinis, and spaghetti sauce. We saw what o mining town was like, and toured
the "Big Nickle". At this mine, we went down into a replica of a mine shaft.
From this excursion we obtained insight into the arduous life of the miners.
"Go West, young man," Horace Greely said; and following his advice,
we reluctantly left for the west. En route, we saw many spectacular scenes and
camped in several beautiful locales. We reached Sault Saint Marie, where we
took a boat cruise through the locks.
Shortly after leaving this area, we visited a pulp and paper mill in
Marathon. The process of reducing logs to paper was intriguing; but having to
cope with the pungent, penetrating smell of the chemicals, we decided to forgo
any other excursions into pulp mills. After this, we camped beside Lake Superior,
where after careful experimentation, John and Steven concluded that icy water
was not conducive to pleasant swimming.
The Lakehead — Port Arthur and Fort William. Seven days gone. Here
we visited the Lumbering Industry Museum, and took another boat cruise around
the Harbour area of the Twin Cities. This inland port — a vital transportation
link — had the world's largest grain elevator (7'2 million bushel capacity) and
the world's largest iron ore dock (432 feet long.)
Our next major stop was Winnipeg. In this city, we were cordially
received by the members of the staff of Saint John Ravenscourt School, which is
located a short distance from the centre of the city. Because the school was
lodging some of the athletes competing in the Pan-Am Games, we were com-
pelled to sleep in a tent on the school grounds beside the Red River.
FORTHESCHOOLYEAR1967-1968 23
"Stampede time" in Calgary, and this was our next major stop. From
Winnipeg we drove across the Prairies; and though we were warned that the
drive would be monotous, we found the rolling land, the eroded hillsides,
scattered shrubs and the numerous small, wild animals a constant source of
interest. The names of the various landmarks recalled to our minds the pages
of Canadian history which were written as a result of explorations.
Calgary impressed all of us. The congenial atmosphere of the city was
v/onderful. We saw the Parade and then the famous grandstand shows. Events
from the past and present kept us enthralled as we watched bronco riding,
wild cow milking, steer roping, Brahomo Bull riding (on event which saw one
man killed) and the culmination: the famed chuck wagon races. Later, we
returned for a variety show which featured the McGuire Sisters and a spectacular
fireworks display.
Leaving Calgary, we received more geography lessons as we moved
towards the majestic Rockies. Here the highlights were the usual tourist points:
Banff, Lake Louise and the Columbia Ice Fields. In this area it was not only the
rugged beauty that kept us spellbound, but we also hod the unique experience
of being able to heave snowballs at each other in the middle of July! After
three days of camping and driving we arrived at Saint George's School in
Vancouver, where we rested.
Because of the hospitality accorded to us at Saint George's, and because
of the warmth of the people we met, we were tempted to stay in Vancouver;
however, after much debate and a lot of sightseeing, we reluctantly decided
that four days were not adequate, but moved on nonetheless. Highlights of
the touring included visits to U.B.C. and Simon Frazer Universities, Stanley Park,
and "Fourth and Vine" — a hippie area.
We crossed the Border and passed the site of a previous World's Fair
at Seattle, and finally entered Mont Ranier Notional Pork in the Redwood
Forests. We hod hoped to ski at Mount Hood, but upon reaching the area, Steven
was the only one who was really enthusiastic.
Upon leaving Mount Hood, we soon noticed a change in the terrain and
realized that this was to be our last view of snow-capped peaks sparkling in
the sun. We drove down the Oregon coast and enjoyed the endless beaches
and bluffs pounded by the deep blue water of the Pacific Ocean. We also
visited the Oregon Caves — the unusual rock formations and their rare colours
impressed us greatly.
The night of our arrival in Son Francisco, we ate at Joe Dimaggio's
famous restaurant located on Fisherman's Wharf. Of course, we rode on the
famed cable cars, and saw the power plant which operated them. Our lost day
in Son Francisco was climaxed by a dinner in Chinatown.
In Los Angeles, sightseeing tours gave us a panorama for this area of
film stars. One day was spent visiting Universal City, where we obtained
insight into the multi-million dollar film and television industry. We saw various
sound stages, actors' dressing rooms, costume and property storage areas. As
we drove around the lot, we saw buildings that we had seen in television ploys,
and we enjoyed making our home movies using Hollywood rocks and other
properties and sets. This trip was certainly an education in one of the largest
communication media.
The second day of our Los Angeles visit took us across town into a world
of fantasy and imagination, Disneyland. Contrary to what many believe or
suspect, this was an interesting excursion for both children and adults. It was
like stepping into a world away from reality, where sets and automated animals
created illusions of faraway lands and times.

In approaching Las Vegas, we saw for the first time the particular beauty
of the desert. Two shows — The James Brown Revue, and the comedian Buddy
Hackett, proved an enjoyable and worthwhile experience.
From Las Vegas, we drove thirty-five miles to Lake Meade, created by
the Hoover Dam, which we also visited. It was desert country, and during the
day we enjoyed a swim in the Lake. In the evening it cooled off, and the
park ranger told us it was one of the coolest nights — the temperature dropped
all the way to 98 degrees. Under these conditions, sleep was virtually impos-
sible, and we broke camp at three o'clock in the morning in order to take
advantage of the coolness as we drove to the Grand Canyon.
As was said before, the desert has a unique beauty. It is, on one hand,
a vast, barren area, but on the other, a source of infinite attraction. The
colours and shapes of the various rock formations one would think on impos-
sibility without seeing them. It seemed miraculous that one river could create
such a masterpiece, as the famed Canyon. In the Grand Canyon National Park,
we relearned a valuable lesson: the importance of making a trench around
our tent. Our initial scratch in the earth was totally inadequate to contain the
deluge. Mr. Ashworth, Steven and John attempted (in vain) to protect the tent
by constructing a series of dams of earth, stones and twigs. (It seems that the
Hoover dam had not taught us that much.)
Enroute to Oklahoma City via the famed "route 66" we toured a meteor
crater, and also drove through the Painted Desert at sunset — one of our most
memorable sights. From Hot Springs we went to Natchez State Park in Mississipi,
and on to New Orleans.
The drive from Oklahoma City to New Orleans revealed much poverty.
Many areas, referred to as towns or cities on the signs and road maps, were
no more than collections of squalid shacks. Frequently, from among the filthy
grey structures, large, well-groomed houses arose. In this area, prison gangs
still work in the cotton fields.
New Orleans: the home of the Mardi Gras, Dixieland jazz and the French
Quarter. The French Quarter, Bourbon Street, and the sidewalk cafes gave us a
sampling of the famous "rhythmn" of this southern city.
Outside Baton Rouge, we visited Michoud, a N.A.S.A. area, where the
first stage of Saturn I and Saturn V rockets are constructed, and then shipped
to Cape Kennedy. The tour was highly informative, and made us all the more
eager to see the Cape. After one day on Daytono Beach, we toured the launching
sites at Camp Kennedy — a thrilling insight into the Space Age.
In Saint Augustine, we discovered the strong Spanish influence in this
oldest city in North America, as well as visiting Ripley's Believe-lt-Or-Not
Museum, and an alligator farm.
We were now heading back to Montreal a little earlier than planned.
In Washington, we visited the "federal" area, and sow, of course, The White
House, the Capitol, the Washington Monument, and the grave of President
Kennedy.
From Washington, we headed northward to Mr. Burgess' country place
on Lake Champlain, and finally arrived in Montreal.
The trip had been a tremendous undertaking, and was a great success.
There were disputes, but these were natural, and did not detract from the
overall value of such on excursion. Our reward was the possession of personal
knowledge of people and places which is irreplaceable. We had seen and done
things we may never hove the opportunity to do again; it was a living educa-
tion, and this is what is remembered about Centennial '67.

A Poem of Protest
(The Winning Speech)
"This morning I am going to devote my time and attention to an analysis
of a well know poem, and I hope to show you that there is in this poem, a deep
social significance and a strong protest against oppression.
One should not be deceived by the apparent superficial simplicity of the
poem, which I will read to you in a moment.
The poet has been at pains to clothe his revolutionary message in the
outward trappings of artless and simple rhyme.
Often in this world of atomic weapons and computors, we are apt to
overlook the wise and meaningful verses of yesteryear.
The poem — you all know it — has been passed from generation to
generation, in trouble and in happiness, in feast and in famine, in war and
in peace.
Baa baa black sheep
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir.
Three bags full.
One for my master.
One for my dame,
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.
Let us examine this poem line by line, let us see once and for all, what
that long gone poet meant to tell us, with subtlety and conclusively.
This poem is of course as you will undoubtedly have realised by now,
about the plight of the oppressed negro slave in the Southern States of America.
Line 1 — "Baa baa block sheep"
Here the rich white landowner is addressing his negro slave, portrayed
cleverly in this poem by the black sheep. It must be remembered that the poet
did not wish to openly cry out in support of the negro, but was forced from
fear of censorship to clothe his poem in this clever disguise.
Line 2 — "Have you any wool?"
He says . . . have you any wool . . . not please hove you any wool, or can
I buy your wool, no, this is an order, . . . give me that wool . . .11!
Here a debatable point is raised when many critics argue . . .
"This poem could not be about the plight of the Southern American
Negro, because no sheep are raised there."
FORTHESCHOOLYEAR1967-1968 27
However, I am glad to say "Petrofsky" the well known Soviet Psycholo-
gist, quells most arguments when he says, and I quote, "Presvetof nichania
borevitch comistye trevidof" which when freely translated reads "The poet used
wool instead of cotton as the produce, because cotton would not fit the rhyme,
and also because when the poet discovered that in fact sheep were not raised
in the Southern States, he had already written the poem.
Line 3 — Let us return "Yes, sir, yes sir"
The oppressed negro humbly replies "yes sir" he knows that he has to say
"Sir" or face whipping or even worse, a white washing.
Line 4 — "Three bags full"
Here one can see very clearly how hard the negro slave has toiled to
produce three whole, foil bags of wool.
You might think that three bags is not a particularly large amount of
wool, and it is to you doubters that I address my next sentence.
These bags were not small shopping bags, or even the size of coal bags,
no, they were larger still.
"Great Big Large Bags of Wool".
Line 5 — "One for my master, one for my dame"
The negro slave is forced to give one bag to his master and one bag
to his master's wife, what loyalty and humbleness exists in the mind of this slave.
Now the poor negro slave after so much toil has only one bag left,
what does he do with the last bag? Listen carefully to his touching episode, he
gives It to the little boy who lives down the lane.
He gives away his last bag of wool.
This is very moving, we were not told anything about this boy, whether
he was rich or poor, whether he was a good boy or a bad boy, and most
important, whether he was black or white.
In conclusion, let me leave you with this beautiful quotation of "Bas-
quali" (whose name is well known for his profound critique of Goosey, Goosey
Gander).
Basquali said of this masterpiece of poetic subtlety, and I quote "The
snail moves slowly, but he cannot be crushed by the butterfly".

Air Pollution
(Awarded 2nd Prize)
Take a good look at the person on your right, now, take a good look at
the person on your left. In 10 years, one decade, 1 of the 3 of you will have
emphysema. Emphysema? A disease causing the lungs to lose their oxygen
absorbing capabilities, forcing a person to breath harder, but retain less oxygen.
Man's malignant gift to himself, air pollution, is the 160 million tons of
waste matter which is dumped into our atmosphere annually by North
Americans.
This huge amount of airborn matter is almost entirely the generous
contribution of our booming industries. The chimneys of factories profusely
belch huge amounts of dense acrid black smoke into the air each day.
Until recently, the poisoning of our atmosphere was recognized by
obscure beaureaucratic government agencies, but little else was done.
28 SELWYNHOUSESCHOOLMAGAZINE
At some time during the past year almost every port of the country was,
for a time, enveloped in a stagnant choking filthy air.
As is the usual case when a public hazard is given enough publicity
(as with cigarettes and cancer) a type of panic broke loose. People suddenly
became afraid to breath when the weatherman said some infallible count
was over a certain level. Garden clubs and PTA's had lectures on Air Pollution.
The Canadian and American Governments set up Air Pollution commissions, and
the Ford Foundation awarded grants to people to find ways to alleviate the
deplorable condition of our atmosphere. Literally mountains of literature were
produced dealing with this phase of our self-destruction.
In the early part of December 1952, 400 people died within 5 days due to
the now famous 'killer fog' of London, which has been recorded as the greatest
Air Pollution disaster in history; while in 1963 it was reported that 647 more
deaths than normal were attributed to air pollution.
In future, the husband will soy to his wife, "Let's go inside for a breath
of fresh air."
A nearly unbelievable effect of air pollution is that it can drastically
change the character of our planet. Smoke and exhaust fumes expelled into
the atmosphere increase the carbon dioxide content, which in turn increases
the temperature. Temperature increases hove already been recorded in the
northern oceans. If the water tmperoture should consistently rise, the polar
icecaps would eventually melt and flood our coastlines, thus changing the faces
of our continents. This will take many years and be the result of great stupid
recklessness, however, the extinction of many formerly great animal species is
sufficient testimony of man's capabilities to skillfully do the unintelligent.
Polluted air can also wreck havoc upon vegetation. Some plants are
resistant to pollution, others are quite sensitive, however, one may be quite
sure that none but the hardiest varieties exist near sources and concentrations
of polluted air.
The sulphur dioxide content in pollution combines with the air to form
sulphuric acid, which ruins textiles, and surprisingly, women's nylon stockings.
Man's history is a proud one. He has risen from the caves of the
neanderthal to the skyscrapers of the modern. That climb, however, has been
a costly one, for with each step man has taken in recent decades, he has literally
choked himself. That which we call modern progress has produced a jungle
of smoke spewing towers, inhabited by machines which exhale their ov/n
deadly venom.
Before the poison of pollution reduces us to vegetables, we must find
a solution to this nemesis, and put our theory to work before the damage is
irreparable.
Mark LAZAR
Career Talks
Several career talks hove been given this year, and our thanks go to
those prominent men who hove so freely given of their time to address forms
VI and VII on their respective careers, and to Mr. Iversen who capably arranged
the series of talks.
Mr. D. C. Tennont discussed aviation and the growing opportunities in
this field, and told us about the progress and positions available in his com-
pany. Air Canada.
FORTHESCHOOLYEAR1967-1968 29
Dr. Oliver gave a very interesting talk on dentistry and showed some
of the various implements used in that trade.
On 28th November, we were privileged to hear from Colonel J. R.
Benbow who spoke on Retailing. Well qualified in this field as head of the
advertising department of one of Montreal's largest department stores. Colonel
Benbow outlined some of the main aspects of retailing, paying special attention
to his own forte of advertising. If was interesting to hear some of the un-
publicised facts concerning advertising of a large organisation and a better
appreciation of the difficulties in running a retail business was gained from
this talk.
The last career talk of the year was given by Mr. Russell Bremner on
Chartered Accounting. Mr. Bremner pointed out that an Accountant is no longer
a man who sits behind a desk all day, adding up figures. He is directly involved
in many businesses in a managerial capacity, and plays a major role in modern
industry.
An interesting film was shown, outlining some aspects of the field of
Accounting.
Guest Speakers
We were privileged this year at Selwyn House to hove the member of
Parliament for Westmount, Mr. Charles M. (Bud) Drury, address the senior boys.
In his speech, Mr. Drury emphasized the importance of a good education, and
then went on to the problems confronting Canada today, paying special attention
to English-French relationships. He then graciously answered questions from
the boys.
At the annual football luncheon, attended by Mr. David Culver, Chair-
man of the Board, and Mr. William Molson, trophies were awarded to the
most valuable player (Mason Tyler) and best lineman (Bill Kilgour) on the
Senior Team. The senior coaches, Mr. Anderson and Mr. Eldridge were pre-
sented with gifts from the boys on the teams, and Mason Tyler and John Light
gave short speeches.
Mr. Molson spoke enthusiastically about our football season, especially
stressing desire.
The History Club
President: Gregory Sheppard
Vice-President: Eric Hamovitch
Secretary: Edward Pitula
At the beginning of the Christmas Term Dr. Andoi, the Senior History
Master, had the idea to form a Club in which discussions could be held on any-
thing of interest, historical or current, and in which guest speakers could be
invited.
On September 28th, 1967, a meeting was held to form the "History
Club", and executives were elected. Plans for the club were outlined.
Since that time meetings have been held on most Thursdays at 4.00 p.m.
We hove gone to visit the museum of "Fine Arts", we have shown a film
on "Communist Poland" and most important of all we have hod two distin-
guished guest speakers. Mr. Charles Drury, Liberal representative for West-
mount spoke on Parliamentary Procedures, and Laurier P. Lapierre the cele-
brated journalist, N.D.P. supporter and the well-known T.V. personality of the
30 SELWYNHOUSESCHOOLMAGAZINE
popular program "This Hour Has Seven Days". Mr. Lapierre spoke on many
things among which were his hate of Private Schools, his distaste for the
present non-active government, his views on Socialism and his personal am-
bitions.
Each member of the club has done something of his choice for the
club. For example, some have spoken on a prepared topic before the club,
others have compiled an opinion poll and a few boys have compiled a History
of Selwyn House School.
I wish the club the best of luck in the coming years and I hope it will
continue to be an important part of the school's extra-curricular activities.

III B's "Government"
The famed politician Chambers stumped madly out of the class (guarded
by Odell and Halligon) because Shuter and Keefer fell asleep during his lecture.
At one end of the room we can see Levinson, Goldfarb and Switzer
(alias the Big Three) in conference.
Two intelligence agents, Pearson and Lantier, ore busily snooping about.
Even with these two around, we still need help from Shannon, who caught
Daniels as he was about to shoot a spit ball at the famous blueberry pie judge,
the Rt. Honourable Richard Box. Also officers Beole, Bremner and Cottinghom
caught the notorious art thief Beardmore, in the act of stealing the Blueboy.
Hogan and Soletes, the two heads of Public Relations, are indulging in
a vicious spitball fight.
Finance Ministers, Wollock and Stratford are busily reading the stock
market.
At last we see Miller and LeGall in the propaganda room in serious
thought. They are thinking how to get back at Campbell for putting their names
down last in the form notes.

Once upon a time there was a little boy named Humpty Hastings,
who fell off the radiator. Not even Claxton, Palmer and Gould could put him
together again. Little Red Rohllcek decided to bring Mr. Becker some nice goodies,
but the big bad Morse tried to steal them, and the brave hunter Hallward
arrived in the nick of time to save little red Rohlicek.

Later that day little Miss Miller was sitting on a puffet studying for her

She flunked her History test.
Meanwhile Cinder Cohen was looking for her glass slipper with the seven

UNDER THIRTHEEN SOFTBALL— 1967
General: Due to inclement weather and a busy term, the schedule was limited
to four games this year, SHS winning three of them. There was a fine spirit on
the team, which was reflected in the team's ability to force the opposition into
errors.

SHS 11 L.C.C. 9
SHS 16 L.C.C. 6
SHS 9 L.C.C. 13
SHS 22 Ashbury 1
The Team
Catcher: Robert MocDougall — was quite steady afield, but made his major
contribution on attack, leading the team in R.B.ls.
Pitching Staff; Jay Ronalds (W2 LI). Joy had two good games for us, and showed
considerable thought and initiative during games. Donald Shannon
(Wl LO) played well this year, and should be very good indeed next year.
FORTHESCHOOLYEAR1967-1968 31
First Base: Co-captain John MocDougall was very steady and competent here.
He also helped the attack.
Second Base: Vice-Captain Billy Ainley had a fine season both in the field and
at bat. His cheerful, but very determined spirit was a major factor in
the team's success.
Third Base: "Chip" Ford played capably here for the first two games. He ran the
bases very well. Tim Paul finished the season at third, playing very
well indeed. He had the highest bunting — eh — batting average on
the team.
Short Stop: Co-Coptoin David Knight improved on his "rookie" season, playing
some outstanding baseball this year.
Outfield: Craig Shannon played well, especially on balls hit in front of him.
He made a number of fine catches.
Steven Ludgate was a pleasant surprise this year. He played especially
well in the first L.C.C. game.
Richard Tetrault's main contribution was at bat, where he was very
consistent.
Norman Stark played very well, and used his head ably on the bases.
Others: These boys were well backed up by such stalwarts as: John Wooler,
Jon Goldbloom, Kelly Cavanagh, Peter Roden, Pete Fontein and David
Clarke.
Particular thanks are due Mr. Tees for his cheerful help, his advice,
and for the excellent umpiring which helps so much to make the game enjoyable.

SENIOR FOOTBALL TEAM 1967
This year the senior football team completed one of its most successful
seasons. This was attributed to the fine spirit and play of the whole team.
The first game at Stanstead was the most disastrous of the season.
Although the team tried very hard, their opponents were too large and exper-
ienced to permit any score. The game was lost 38-0.
The most heartbreaking game of the season was at Ashbury. Through the
fine playing of John Grossman, Neil Cryer and the rest of the defence, we
allowed a much larger and older Ashbury team only 13 points. Our offense
scored a touchdown in the last minute, but failed to come up with the convert, so
the gamed ended 13-12.
In an important total point series for the Norsworthy Cup, Selwyn
House came out on top against Bishops by 38 to 17.
The most satisfying game of the year was played against Monkiands
High School. Last year they won 31-6, but this year we came back with o
resounding 27-6 victory.
Our second gome against Stanstead was played against their junior
team. We won by the score of 13-12.
Thanks to the coaching by Mr. Anderson and Mr. McLean the team had
an excellent season. Both coaches put in a tremendous amount of time and
effort.
Special mention should be made of Mason Tyler who was elected Most
Valuable Player, of Bill Kilgour who was elected Most Valuable Lineman, and
of John Drummond and Tom Oliver for their hard running and hitting. The
defence, led by Brian Roy, also played well all season.
All of the seniors leaving this year agree that this was their best year of
football.
Coaches' Comments
This year's senior football team deserves much credit. After losing the
first two games of the season they bounced back to win the last five.
The players showed excellent spirit both on and off the field, and won
the respect of each of the referees for sportsmanlike conduct.
The team captain. Mason Tyler, and vice-captain, Peter Nares, carried
out their tasks very well, and are to be congratulated, along with the rest of
the team, for a good season's effort.

BANTAM FOOTBALL
This season was our first as a member of The Greater Montreal Inter-
scholostic Athletic Association, and many felt that the team had a concrete
objective at which to aim. Though the year was not spectacularly successful in
so for as the win - loss record was concerned, much valuable experience was
obtained for future competition in the league.
The season opened with an exhibition gome against Loyola and though
the team played hard a few lapses resulted in our being shut out 26 to 0.
Loyola was the more experienced team and they exacted revenge for their
defeat by us the previous year.
The first league game revealed a vast amount of potential and we
defeated Lindsay Place High School 7 to 0. There was a great deal of hard,
aggressive football and luck was with us.
In our second game there was a marked improvement and we won a
close game against Montreal West High School by the score of 13 to 12. Luck
was still with us, and at this time we found ourselves sharing first place in our
section with Loyola and L.C.C.
Unfortunately, the next two games were characterized by our inability
to contain Loyola and L.C.C. and we lost both crucial games by scores of 26 to
0 and 27 to 0 respectively. Highlights of both these games come in the first
halves as we showed that we could play as well; however, overconfidence
overcame us and we were outplayed in the latter portion of each game.
The fifth game of the season was played under exceptionally poor
weather conditions and luck seemed to be against us as we lost 20 to 0.
We journeyed to B.C. 5. for our annual game with their bantams and it
was a successful and rewarding day. Bishops played well and the game was
characterized by great team unity and tremendous sportsmanship. We won 14 to
0 and this resulted in a tremendous upsurge in team spirit.
Arriving back from B.C.S. with a new lease on life we played our best
game of the season. It was a 1 to 0 loss against Westmount High. Everyone
played exceptionally well but a couple of errors proved to be our downfall
in the score.
Special thanks should be expressed to Mr. Burgess and Mr. Eldridge who
trained the many new members so well and boosted our confidence all season.
Coaches' Comments: The success of any team sport depends on harmony
and co-operation between all members of the team.
In football, where there are so many on a team this is extremely im-
portant and the coaches were exceptionally pleased with the attitude of the
members of the Bantam football team. It was each individual boy who made
our season relatively successful and to them should go the credit. It is im-
possible to mention every player individually, but some of our veterans per-
formed very well and never faltered all season.
Benbow, Light ii, Chuckly, and Ronalds who acted as captains for the
team set an excellent example of good hard football. The rookies Ainley,
Brown, MacDougall ii R., Coristine, Khazzam S., Molson i, Skelton, and the others
in their first year of football show much promise for the future success of foot-
ball at Selwyn House.
Many others participated as members of the team, but were not on the
field for too much time excepting practices; however, perhaps they will be the
mainstays of our team for the next few years.
FORTHESCHOOLYEAR1967-1968 55
SENIOR SOCCER 1967
The revival of senior soccer in Selwyn House School proved to be a
successful and rewarding fall programme. With a limited number of 23 boys,
for one and a half hours per week, we embarked upon the task of developing
a school team to compete with other schools.
Our first encounter was with St. George's resulting in a scoreless tie.
Ball control was our main weakness, although we held our positions quite well.
On the left wing Mark Lazar posed a threat many times to St. George's,
while Barry Graham at centre forward was tireless in his efforts to score.
Our second game was against Sedbergh played under conditions better
suited to water polo. Despite the condition of the playing field we suffered a
3-1 defeat. Our lone tolly came from Barry Graham, in the first half.
Lower Canada College provided strong opposition for us in our third
game and we were outplayed throughout most of the game. Determination
on the part of our defence managed to keep the final score down to
2-0 in L.C.C.'s favour. Hugh Blakely played well in goals in the absence of
Bruce Fox and Jim Jennings was a tower of strength at centre half.
Our final game was a return match with St. George's. Both teams were
determined to break the tie from the previous gome. Throughout most of the
game we kept the ball in St. George's half, but lack of ball control prevented
our forwards from scoring. Nearing the end of the gome when another tie
seemed imminent, Guy Mayer raced on to the ball on the edge of the penalty
area and made no mistake with a hard shot to the top left hand corner of the
net.
So ended the season and although with only one win to our credit,
the team thoroughly enjoyed the sport and competition.
Team Members were: Fox, Blakely, Tombs i, Schouelo i, Jennings, Hastings,
Delmar, Clark, J., Ayre i (Capt.), Graham, Winghom, Mayer, Phillips, Lazar
and Lovell.
UNDER 13 SOCCER
We, the under 13 soccer team, understood that this year was mainly a
building year. We had the disadvantage of only four practices until the begin-
ning of the season. In our first game we played a strong Ashbury team in poor
weather and lost 4-1. Theirs was a well organized and well coached team.
In the second game of our home and home series at Ashbury, we lost
2-0.
In our third game of the season, this time against St. Georges, we played
poorly relinquishing a 3 to 1 lead at half time and finishing with a narrow
win of 4-3.
Against Sedbergh we played our best game of the season. A hat trick
by Norman Stork gave us a 4-1 lead which eventually was cut to 4-2.
In our fifth game of the season, the return match against St. Georges,
we played an excellent game, winning by a margin of six goals to none. Nor-
man Stark again paced the team with three goals, David Vaughan got two and
Graeme Watt scored one,- this was the last time we were to score in the 1967
year.
56 SELWYNHOUSESCHOOLMAGAZINE
The return game against Sedbergh we were outplayed and only the
good work of goalie Gory Victor kept us in the game; a few defensive lapses
cost us our goals. Unfortunately the field was in no shape for a soccer game.
The score in this game was 3-0.
Playing our only game against Lower Canada College, we came off
with a scoreless tie; it was a good gome worthy of our traditional rivalry.
Our lost game of the season was against Bishop's, an under 14 team,
and again we played to a 0-0 tie. We played one of our better games, although
we failed to score, and, again. Gory Victor played an excellent gome in goal.
Coach's Comment: Although this year's team had limited talent, the spirit
shown in adversity by these boys gave me a great deal of satisfaction. It was
a young team as witnessed by the fact that ten of the boys who participated
in games this year, will still be eligible next year.
The defence, after a shaky start, settled down to some fine soccer; four
shut-outs ore no mean achievement. This unit was lead by Captain Greg.
Hannon, bolstered by Meadowcroft, Reordon, Gray, Kaplan, Goldbloom ii and
Keefer and Gary Victor, the goalie, to whom much credit is due.
The offence lacked leadership and made many mistakes of inexperience.
Norman Stark, after he decided to play one position, became our top scorer
with 8 goals in 8 games; others on attack were Vaughan i. Knight, Watt, Weil ii,
Elliott, Molson ii and Powlick ii.

Senior Hockey Team Annual Report
This was an extremely active and reasonably successful season for the
Senior Hockey Team. We played a record number of games and ended the
season with eleven wins, seven losses and two ties.
Glancing through the list of games, one con see a significant increase
in the number of G.M.I. A. A. teams played. Almost half our games involved
these groups, and although we were not always successful, these games
increased our knowledge of hockey. Even some of our losses provided great
excitement, for the players of both teams skated hard and well.
Thanks to Mr. Lewis for arranging many of our games, one of which
involved a trip to Sterling, a New England prep school; though we lost the
game, it is hoped that this outing will become a permanent fixture in the
future. Another special word of thanks should be extended to Mr. Lewis for
the competent manner in which he handled the complex task of issuing and
selling equipment not only for the team but for all the boys.
The Master's Game provided great enjoyment and an unparalleled sense
of sportsmanship. An Old Boys' Game was played for the first time, and though
the Old Boys played well, the problem of obtaining players handicapped them.
Unfortunately, the Fathers' Game was cancelled this year. The small number
of fathers wishing to play was most disappointing. The cancellation of this game,
regarded by the team as a highlight of the season, was doubly distressing for
the boys, for the team is sure they would have won.
The only serious problem this year, which can be improved next season,
was our inability to maintain constant pressure on our opposition, particularly
when we were behind by only one goal. Our efforts at these times were often
fruitless, and our attempts often resulted in penalties which put even greater
pressure on us. However, the team was basically a good one which showed
good skating and hard-hitting playing throughout the season.
This year's team was coached by Mr. Burgess and Mr. Ashworth. They
were both competent at handling young men on skates, and much credit must
go to them for the time and spirit they gave to make a successful season.
Coaches' Comments:
As the season ends, we remember both the good and the bad games
we had this year. We hope that the little we have shown you will help to
provide you with a foundation for fulfilment in hockey and in life. It was a
pleasure for us to work with you (well worth our respective sets of ulcers) and
we anticipate an even better season next year.

BANTAM HOCKEY
BANTAM HOCKEY 1967-1968
This year's edition of the Bantam Hockey Team had only three holdovers
from the team of the previous year, and this inexperience was the main factor
in our relatively slow start. We lost our first three games, but with the excellent
guidance of our coach, Mr. Anderson, we were able to improve steadily, and
we finished with a very respectable record.
Our best performances were our wins against L.C.C. (which also beat us
twice during the season) and Mont Saint-Louis; on these occasions we were able
to combine an effective offence with a solid defence for a full sixty minutes.
Our most gratifying game, however, was the season's finale against Wogar
High School. We were trailing 3-0 with only ten minutes left to play, yet we
were able to fire in three clutch goals and pull out a tie.
Team members were Michael Goldbloom (captain), Craig Shannon
(vice-captain), Brian Gentles, J. D. Light, Jon Benbow, Peter Scott, Michael Reade,
Timmy Paul, Bill Ainley, Robert Macdougall, Jay Ronalds, Tom Lang, David
Knight and Tom Scott.

This was a year in which it was difficult to assess our team. Against
Ashbury — the only under thirteen team we played — we lost by 4 goals to 5
in a very exciting match.
I feel that these young boys improved in skills and in teamwork quite
considerably by the end of the season. However, the season's won-lost record —
0 and 9 — was pretty dismal.
Perhaps the brightest aspect of the season was the fact that our boys
never quit, playing their best at all times.
Richard Tetrault did a fine job both on and off the ice as our captain.

Goalies: Chris Roper, Ian Molson.

Selwyn House School Ski Meet
SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL SKI MEET
On February 27th the school ski meet was held at Mont Habitant. The
weather was clear and snow conditions were very fast.
The Giant Slalom was run in the morning, covering the full length of
the "W-ski" trail. Barry Graham won the event with Bill Ainley placing first
in the Intermediate division.
A short slalom took place that afternoon on the bottom of the same
trail. Barry Graham was again winner, while Bill Ainley once more took
Intermediate honours.
A bus delay and trouble with the starter's phones did not detract from
the spirit of competition, which mokes any sports event a success. Our thanks
to Mr. Iversen, organizer of the meet, and to Messrs. Lewis, Ashworth and
Campbell who officiated.

The hiector Sutherland Trophy Ski-Meet
MARCH 2nd, 3rd, 1968
This season's training programme began in January under the direction
of Leo Lehtonen, on experienced Finnish cross-country racer, two afternoons each
week. Leo gave the team a firm, basic knowledge in the technique of cross-
country skiing as well as stamina-training.
The weekend of the meet, the team, consisting of Billy Ainley, Guy
Mayer, Billy Molson, Walter Lovell, Tony Tyler and John MacDougall, lodged at
Auberge Lanthier in St. Marguerite.
The slalom and giant slalom events were held on Saturday at Chalet
Cochand. In the slalom, we captured third, fourth and fifth positions. This gave
us second place in the slalom and we were edged out of first place by a mere
nine points by L.C.C.

Our spirits were very high for the afternoon's giant slalom. At the con-
clusion of the race, we still were in second place, but L.C.C. had widened the
gap between us.
The night we knew we hod to overcome Sedbergh because cross-
country was their specialty and we hoped that L.C.C. would falter in this event.
We did our best, but Sedbergh recorded four astounding times in this event and
succeeded in taking this event and the over-all trophy.
At this point I would like to thank Mr. Iversen for his fine coaching and
Mr. Ashworth our chaperon. Special thanks go to Leo for the fine job he did.

GYMNASTICS
Our Inter-House competition preceded our postponed annual display
this year; this kept the gymnasts in good form right up to display time. For
the Inter-House competition we had very good representation from all sections
of the school. A special book prize was presented to the individual who amassed
the greatest number of points in the competition and, for the first time, it went
to Neil Cryer.
Both Junior and Senior displays were successful with a good deal of
variety in both programmes. Class awards were presented at the Junior display
by Mrs. Walford and in the evening by Mr. David Culver.
Best Junior gymnast award went for the second year in a row to David
McKeown and the best senior gymnast award went jointly to Neil Cryer and
Gregory Weil, also for the second year running.
Once again our gymnasts have received an invitation to appear on
C.B.C. television on May 17th. This will make our fourth appearance on tele-
vision, an event always looked forward to with great excitement by our younger
gymnasts.

Please write brief notes on my life,
Categorize my few steps,
Prevent my bust from soiling.
In the dust of my spent days.
Inscribe my name in the Book
And summarize each emotion.
Ask the hallways that I walked
For the echoes of my voice.
But in your brief synopsis
Condemn me like my forebears.
My measured life registered
As a footnote forgotten.
I start and end in mid-stream.
Swept from nothing to nothing.
Mystery yet unexplained
By teachers and professors.
But who then rides this river.
Swirling flood, from source to
Dead gods and the howling wind
That blow through generations.
We moke ourselves illusions
And being drops in droplets
We cannot reach forever.
Wherever that, wherever.

JOURNEY
The road winds high,
twisting and darting
through sparkled spangles
of snowy crystals
against the azure;
past trees,
naked but for their winter diamonds
providing transient richness
until spring's promise is sure;
through small towns,
nameless in their common coatings
of snow,
deep and soft,
fluffed to ethereal contortions
by wind's whim;
into silent pines,
their branches straining
to maintain burdens.
Their slender needles
leaving winter's message unheeded;
to ford a brook,
sprightly fighting
against that cold paralysis that grows
and spread an unsolicited cover
for the grey fish
in the hollows below;
only to end,
her sleepy dreams departed,
at the highway awakening.

A POEM
Oh Father, help me.
For I have sinned
I was born.
Let me pay my penance.
Let me live in world of sinners.
With my first breath
I condemned myself to purgatory,
In my next decade to hell.
In my hell, there is no wailing and gnashing of teeth
For my hell is here.

A Lesson In A Pine Cone
One day not long ago, walking through the quiet woods, I happened
to stumble on a pine cone. I picked it up casually and turned it in my hand.
It was a familiar enough object, and yet as I looked at it more closely I
became fascinated with its structure. I wondered if the inside was like the
outside; if the same construction, like the shingles of an old roof, went all the
way through.
I broke it in two and was surprised to find an open space in which
living creatures were milling around. They were insects I had never seen before,
about a third the size of an ant. I found a small magnifying glass in my pocket,
and brought them into focus. As I wotched, I realized that they were of two
groups. One type had rough backs like the back of a tree, so I named them
pines. The others were shaped rather like a cone, so I called them conies. The
conies were easy to spot because they had a dark brown stripe down the
middle of the back.
There seemed to be furious activity going on, and it suddenly dawned
on me that I was watching a battle. It was evident that the conies were stronger,
while the pinies were better strategists and thinkers. Nevertheless, as I watched
the trends of the battle, it seemed to me that the sheer strength of the conies
was beginning to tell. One by one the pinies were captured and marched
away to an enclosure behind the conies' lines.
Before long, only one pocket of resistance remained. Two pinies were
surrounded by four brawny conies, and seemed to be having the worst of it.
One of the pinies, however, managed to sidestep one of the conies and get
behind him; he took hold of the tail end of the brown stripe and pulled.
Suddenly, it came off. The pinie laid it across his own bock, and a remarkable
change took place. The conie became weaker and the pinie stronger. The pinie
spun another conie around, stripped off the brown stripe and applied it to the
back of the other pinie. One by one the conies were disarmed; the imprisoned
pinies were freed, and peace settled over the pine cone.
In retrospect, I was glad that the pinies had been satisfied to go home
without pressing their ne^-found advantage. I hope the conies learned a lesson;
I knew I did: with forbearance and understanding, we may one day be able
to do the same.

Benjamin The Toy Salesman
Benjamin had enjoyed his work as a toy salesman immensely; he loved
children and in fact, was somewhat of a child himself. A most avid salesman,
he veritably fulminated with child-like ebulience when a new line of toys came
out. He would rush from the store boasting the advantages of the new toys with
wide eyed naivete.
Christmas was a special time of the year for him, as one can well
imagine. At the office everyone was in a good mood, and as business was good,
the ogre, the boss, was even bearable. Children sang and laughed all about
and Benjamin could not help joining them.
As the years went by more and more toy companies sprang up, com-
petition grew fierce and the toys became cheap and gimmicky. Benjamin did
not like these changes one bit, but he was in the fairly prominent position of
sales manager and chose security over principle. In doing so a metamorphosis
was initiated: Benjamin, through necessity became hardened to the ways of
70 SELWYNHOUSESCHOOLMAGAZINE
big business, he no longer thought of happy children when he sold, rather, he
thought about the money he would make and that soft executive job he felt
he must attain. He had no time for children and their foolish insane laughter
and singing, and the children now looked upon Benjamin as an ogre; deep
lines had been carved in a once pleasant face by worry and he took on the
bitter outlook of a man of frustrated ambition. His ambition had hod two great
effects; Benjamin never married, as that was a trap for fat nose idiots who had
nothing better to do with their money and his heart had started to give him
trouble — just a dizziness at first, but as Christmas neared and business was at
its peak, it brought many worries for Benjamin, he found trouble just in moving
around.
On Christmas Eve the employees were given their customary half-day
off, and at noon Benjamin plodded his way home through the snow and slush.
Upon arriving at his two room flat he sluggishly peeled ofF his overcoat, scarf
and boots; and then threw himself info the single chair. He hated these ridiculous
holidays that the other employees cherished so much; what did they do during
all that time anyway?
He sat motionless and thoughtless in the silence of his spartan sur-
roundings until evening when he was startled by a crash behind him. Some
books had fallen from his tiny bookshelf. Picking them up he noticed one In
particular A Christmas Carol, which had been his favourite when he was a
youngster. Since he had nothing to do he sat down again and reread this long
forgotten story.
He found the story uproariously funny: How naive he must hove been!
How could Mr. Dickens, a full grown man, write such silly nonsense!
The evening thus became night and Benjamin dragged himself off to
bed dreading the silence and the loneliness of Christmas day.

Tine Party-Pooper
Almost every party is usually infiltrated by a square peg in the social
circle. He is the porty-pooper. This person is the catalyst that binds together
many diverse people so that they leave by 10.15.
Party-poopers are unfortunate people who bathe with Dial, shampoo with
Head and Shoulders, spray on Ban, brush with MacCleans (for whiter teeth),
groom with VO-5 . . . and then wonder why nobody likes them. They are not
really sadistic or cruel. After all, there is nothing sadistic about bringing a stack
of Mario Lanza records — as long as nobody has to listen to them. There is
nothing cruel in bringing along one's stamp album — as long as no one has to
admire all the wonderful Liechtenstein stamps.
A party-pooper is the one who likes to tell pointless jokes, do card tricks,
reminisce about trips to the dentist, devour all the snacks, cheese-dip and drinks
in one gulp, and demonstrate his newly-acquired skills at the banjo — after
a month of lessons. The party-pooper is the one who becomes so convulsed
while repeating an ancient joke, that he spills his drink. He is the one who
interrupts a discussion about Valley of the Dolls to explain why the Liberals
will lose the next election, and he is the one who likes to demonstrate, unsuccess-
fully, how six cups can be balanced on a broom handle. A party-pooper also
likes standing on sofas to supervise the choosing of teams for word gomes he has
suggested. However, a party-pooper does not like discussing popular movies
he has not seen, and popular books he has not read.
FORTHESCHOOLYEAR1967-1968 71
And yet party-poopers do not always mean harm. They mean to help
when they bring casseroles of health food to dinner parties, ministers to stag
parties, and ex-girl friends to the groom's wedding party. They believe they are
providing appreciated entertainment when they bring home-made movies of
junior, and they believe that they are doing a favour to guests by constantly
snapping pictures of them — with three one-hundred volt flash-bulbs.
After the liveliness of the party has sunk into a coma, the porty-pooper
will still be the only one who does not realize it was he who killed the party
by simply being there. Next Saturday, another victim will hear the familar
cry of "Hi, where's the party?"

GHOSTS
Many people believe in ghosts. There are sometimes newspaper stories
of ghosts frightening or disturbing people in old houses in Great Britain. I once
visited a ruined castle that was said to be haunted. The caretaker sent me a copy
of the ghost legend. He seemed to think it was true. I con believe that ghosts
exist for I too, have seen one.
The house in which I live faces on a golf course. In spring, there is
often morning fog. On those days, if I go downstairs very early, there will
likely be fog so thick that it is impossible to see a few yards. Seagulls gather
on the course in great numbers each morning. They move to and from in com-
plete silence, looking for something to eat. They ore a ghostly sight, and it is even
more eerie when, as if, at a signal, they suddenly fly off together, screaming
loudly.
One morning, I went outside to watch them. I stood absorbed, trying to
guess the moment when the gulls would take off. I became aware of a peculiar
muffled noise. I could see nothing. The gulls screeched a warning and flew
away with a great flapping of wings, as if they were alarmed. I stood still, too
curious to go inside, but rather anxious, for I knew that no one was ever on the
course so early because of the fog. Suddenly, I saw a ghost-like figure approach
at a tremendous speed. I could not see exactly what it was, but it was a strange
shape shrouded in white. It raced by and disappeared in the fog uttering
ghostly sounds. Rooted to the ground, I could not run away, yet I could not
bear to stay. Finally, I rushed indoors, trembling with cold and excitement.
Later, I heard rumours that the de Sourdy pony had escaped and also
that a tablecloth was missing from the clothes line at the Club House. It might
hove been only a coincidence, I could find no one to confirm or deny the story
that could have solved the riddle of my ghost.

CLEAN BATHROOMS*
To clean, or not to clean: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The impositions and detentions of outrageous teachers,
Or to take arms against a sea of refuse.
And by working cleanse them? To purify: to rinse;
No more; and by a mop to say we end
The muscle-ache and the thousand natural pains
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be undesired. To purify, to rinse;
72 SELWYNHOUSESCHOOLMAGAZINE
To rinse, perchance to scour; ay, there's the rub;
For on that rinse of dread what scouring may come
When we have finished off this mortal toil.
Must give us mops: there's a prospect
That makes this calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the sponges and rags of grime.
The oppressor's imposition, the proud students' contumely.
The pangs of despised work, the toilets' inlay.
The insolence of our office and the fumes
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When we ourselves might our quieters make
With a bare mop? who would fardels bear.
To grunt and sweat under our dreary strife.
But that the dread of something after this.
The undiscovered bathrooms from whose bourn
No student returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those toils we have
Than to fly to others that we know not of?
Thus toilets do make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of refuse
Is sicklied o'er with the pale colour of rot.
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their noses turn away.
And lose the smell of sanctum — Soft you now!
The four McLean! Teacher, in thy orisons
Be all our sins remember'd.
*A paraphrase of Hamlet, Act III, scene I, lines 56-89 M. Wingham.
The Barber's Best Friend?
I think I am. My companion and working partner, the razor, disagrees.
Our argument is irrelevant though, because we hardly have time to discuss it
during working hours. This is our only chance because at night we rest and
recuperate from the day's arduous work. From 8 A.M. to 6 P.M. I spend my time
going clip, clip, clip, in everybody's and anybody's hair. Surely you con guess
I am a pair of scissors.
There was a time about three years ago when I had plenty of spore
time; in fact all my time was spare time. This was just after I had been made
and sent to Eaton's of Canada to be sold. 1 was misplaced for six months in the
sports department and when I was finally found I looked and felt second-rate.
Another month passed before they finally reduced my price. The next day I
was sold to a barber and 1 was overjoyed. For the first time in my life I was
going to get some activity. As quickly as the cash register added up the tax, my
life had changed. 1 was thrust into the controversial issue known as the rights
and wrongs of long hair. I acquired the friendship of the barber and several
of his instruments. Since my barber was a rather talkative type, I heard all
the news on most days.
I think I am a lucky pair of scissors. I think I am a most fortunate pair of
scissors in that I was finally bought by a friendly, respectful and conscientious
person. He keeps me in excellent condition and I look almost like new. Occa-
sionally I wish I had more spare time, but that is normal. On the whole I
definitely prefer my present life to my early life in the sports department.

The Show-Off
It was a cold, bleak morning in January. Snow was falling in the midst
of a bitter wind which made it feel like it was below zero. From around the
corner and within view of the schoolyard come Tommy Turcot. Walking with
him was one of his few friends, Bobby Richards. He was walking in his distinct
style: long strides, straight back accompanied by a superior look on his face.
Unnoticed, he strode onto the school grounds.
Resented by many, an enemy of some, he was indeed not very welcome.
To him, to be envied was best, and he was best at being a sho^-off. But, this
was by no means the only thing he was good at. He was also superior in hockey
and academics. To make other people feel their weaknesses was his speciality.
This is what irritated them most.
Today, because of the weather. Tommy went straight to his classroom.
As was natural to him and also very reassuring. Tommy began to tell as many
classmates as much as possible about the latest "thing" in his life, no matter
how trivial the incident.
Gloom hung over the class on this particular day, because the class was
to be detained that night for one hour for misbehaviour. Tommy, because he
had been absent the previous day, was exempt from punishment. This was a
unique opportunity as far as he was concerned. The rest of the day was even
worse for his classmates. Tommy, the weather and the detention were the prime
reasons.
Next day the class was still reminded of its deeds. Tommy, rejoicing in
his triumph, had another full day. For his classmates, eventually, though it
seemed like a long time, the day was over. For hockey bugs, though, the day
had just started. Tommy, among the best at hockey, was included in the cang.
This select group played at a local rink.
From the very start of the game he wanted to demonstrate, as what he
thought, his superiority. He began to play well and soon wanted control of
every play. Overjoyed, he began his last rush. Forgetting himself, he skated
between two livid defencemen, who were almost too anxious to bodycheck him.
Bang! Crunch! Thump! He sprawled prostrate on the ice. Thirty minutes
later Tommy regained consciousness. He looked around. It all seemed strange.
Then he remembered slowly. He felt a pain in his arm, and also, though he did
not know it, he had suffered a slight concussion. His mother told him the rest.
Stunned by the suddenness of it, the players were slow to react. When they had
contacted the hospital an ambulance hod come immediately and taken him to
the hospital. Any fears of serious injury were blown to the winds when the
tests proved negative. He was now in the recovery room and was just realizing
he felt very tired and rather hungry.
The following Monday, Tommy returned to school. He was greeted by
a solid dose of indifference. His classmates, though sorry about the accident,
felt he deserved it. Although his classmates expected him to, he did not return
their indifference. His first question was, "Am I still on the team when my arm
heals?". Although the answer was yes, it was a very hesitant yes. Tommy soon
proved he no longer wanted to be the center of attention. He began to act as
if he was part of a group and no longer as an individual. It was all for the
better and none too soon. The results gradually began to show as he rose in
popularity. Now, at last, he was a true member of the gang!

Battle Hill
1. An ancient hill rises tall above the trees.
High above the clouds, catching the warm breeze;
On the jagged summit two crumbling towers stand.
Where once a famous castle overlooked a battle ground.
2. The now vanished ramparts once rang with shield and sword,
When knight in silver armour did bravely for his lord;
But now the lonely towers, dim and grey and cold.
Remain to guard the hill to-day as once in days of old.

Alfred Spock
There was a dog called Alfred Spock,
Who took his master for a walk!
The master never liked the dog.
Because it gobbled like a hog!
One day he took it to the store.
It stole a steak and barked for more!
And once it jumped on to the bed,
And scratched and scratched, and shed and shed!
Now the dog is up for sale.
Please send your order in by mail!

Three Bandits
Three bandits came a- running
Into the Central Bank:
Those guys who came a- gunning.
Were Joe and Jake and Hank.
"It's a hold up, see," said they,
"Hand us your money now,"
"No," Bankteller Sam did say.
And this caused quite a row.
"Help!" the people yelled. Just then
A posse come in sight:
They shot those three wild gunning men,
After a fearsome fight.
Like Clyde and Bonnie both now dead.
Bank bandits meet their fate.
They lie all still, and full of lead
Their end they surely rate.

A Railway Station
Huge, black, block letters, etched on a weathered board read as
Point Barry. Enveloped by the gloomy shadow of the building, this nomeplate
swayed on its rustyhooks. Only addition to dusk's lost rays reflecting off the
worn shingles of the wooden roof was faint illumination by oil lamps dropping
from the eaves. But even this light was absorbed by the wooden walk which
served as the station platform. Everything seemed suspended in gloom. My
76 SELWYNHOUSESCHOOLMAGAZINE
footsteps reverberated eerily as I paced toward the door. When I yanked it
open, the appalling noise of unoiled hinges stunned me. Nobody, despite the
clamor, seemed to notice the intruder.
A glance about brought my eyes upon a lengthy line of impatient
travellers, standing before the tarnished grill of the ticket wicket. Others sat
quietly on the hard oaken benches. Even in the furthest corner the stifling
odour of smoke hung in the air. Walls which were once immaculate had cracked
and yellowed, and in a multitude of places, the wretched condition of the
structure was covered with maps and pictures. The wood-burning stove, arranged
in the centre of the room offered lessening warmth. Most of the glowing embers
had already left cold ashes A sole gas lantern lighted the dingy station.
Far in the distance the shrill whistle of a train pierced the silence. It
would not arrive here. Long ago the steel ribbons connecting this station to
others were removed. The people and every other aspect of life in the building
were only an imagination of the post. The imprint of history had been left.
Peter KIVESTU, V A
The Right To Strike
Several years ago there was a law passed giving public employees the
right to strike. This law was set forth with the idea that the people employed
by the government have just as much of a right to strike as those workers in
private industry. Since then public employees have certainly taken advantage
of this privilege and have left the public with a teachers' strike, a radiologists'
strike, two bus drivers' strikes and a postmen's strike to contend with, as well
as the usual strikes in private industry. However, this last transit strike started
people questioning whether this right should not be withdrawn.
The transit worker's strike is a good example of how unions take
advantage of the privileges and liberties of a democratic society without
shouldering the burdens and responsibilities that accompany them. When an
injunction against the C.N.T.U. was issued, the union leaders refused to go
back to work. This was bad enough, but the strikers went further. Some of the
drivers tried to return to work, and some buses and one subway line were
actually moving, when the militant segment of the strikers insisted on continuing
the strike despite the injunction, and frightened the others by intimidation and
threats. Now, surely if public servant have the right to strike, that does not
give them the right to force others to strike against their own will, even by
legal methods. During the whole strike the C.N.T.U. completely ignored the
convenience of the public. The union had an agreement with Expo that a
strike would not extend to the fair. The buses from the Victoria parking lot,
while not strictly on the site, could have been kept going by the drivers
without damaging their cause. However, not only did they immediately stop
bus service to the parking lot, but the C.N.T.U. even threatened to take their
drivers off the Expo-Express, which would have paralysed the fair. The very
fact that they had the strike before the closing of Expo indicated a complete
lack of consideration for anything except their own exorbitant demands.
For years government employees did not have the right to go on strike.
This is because of the advantages of such a job which balance this lack of
freedom. A public service job has a security automatically attached to it which
is not part of a private industry job. During times of depression, war and any
other crisis, the first people to be laid off are people in the non-essential services
and those in some basic industries. But a government must carry on despite
catastrophes and upheaval, so public servants are safer than anyone else.
FORTHESCHOOLYEAR1967-1968 77
Also the government is such a large company that it takes a long time before
It loses so much money that people must be fired, especially since it con always
draw on the tax-payers.
Unions are a relic of the age when capitalism ruled and the poor workers
and laborers were shamefully taken advantage of by greedy, unscrupulous
management. Since then the unions have changed the situation and have
become so powerful that they are now controlling management, as far as
salaries are concerned. The government never did, and never will, give extremely
inadequate wages to its employees.
The basic cause of rising wages is the increasing cost of living, otherwise
the salary that is adequate for today would be alright tomorrow. Revoking the
right to strike from public servants would slow the vicious circle of rising prices,
causing rising wages which in turn cause another increase in prices, and so on.
It might be argued that whenever a contract of government employees
expires, negotiations between the government and unions goes on and on
without achieving anything, until finally the union has to strike to get anywhere.
Thus with their right to strike revoked, the employees would never get an
adequate increase. I think that a good way to deal with this problem would be
to set up a special set of courts that would deal with labor disputes only.
Thus if the unions of the public employees could not come to an agreement
with the government by the time the contract expires, instead of a strike
resulting, the dispute would go to the compulsory arbitration of the courts.
Also, if it is a choice between having some employees receive less pay than
they would have gotten and maybe even deserved, or having the unions
take advantage of the public and break the laws, I think the former is the
lesser of the evils. This is especially true when it is considered that during the
strikes, the workers lose almost as much money because they are not working,
as they gain over the next few years in the new contracts. As in wars, there
are only losers in a strike.

LA VILLE
Vendredi, cinq heures du matin — la ville etait morte, mais elle se
reveille lentement. Un chat traverse une rue et commence d creuser dans la
tripaille cherchant quelque chose a manger. Un garcon distribue le journal du
matin; de temps en temps, une voiture solitaire le passe. Dans une maison,
on ecoute la clochette d'un reveille-matin — le jour commence pour un trovailleur
matinal.
Huit heures et demie du matin — la ville vit; elle tressaillit avec les
retentissements des autos qui font le bruit necessaire en allant faire les devoirs
du jour, en allant commencer le jour ouvrable. Les pietons passes maudissent
les voituriers qui renvoient la galanterie en faisant la meme chose.
Midi — la ville se repose. II y a des autos et des pietons, mais pas la
multitude du matin. Les gens qui vont aux restaurants pour diner, et les gens
qui font des emplettes sont la majorite dans les rues.
Six heures de I'apres-midi — la ville est comme une foule enragee,
insensee. Une ligne solide de voitures remplit les rues principales; une autre
ligne de pietons remplit les trottoirs. On entend un millier de klaxons.
78 SELWYNHOUSESCHOOLMAGAZlNE
Minuit — la ville se prepare a dormir, mais elle n'a pas encore I'envie
de dormir. II y a de I'agitation et de I'activite au centre de la ville, ou se trouvent
les boites de nuit. On entend le bruit urbain — les klaxons des voitures, un cri
percent d'une fille, la musique des boites de nuit. En quelques heures la ville
mourro; mais seulement pour se reveiller de nouveau le lendemain.

L'Ecole en France
C'etait le mois de septembre 1965. J'etais a Paris. Dans quelques jours
je commencerais mes etudes dans une ecole francaise. Je me posais une question:
les ecoles francaises sont-elles tres differentes des ecoles au Canada? Bientot
j'allais le savoir . . .
Deux ons se sont ecoules et j'ai souvent pense aux ecoles en France.
Napoleon se souciait peu de I'enseignement primaire, mais il a fonde les lycees
ou ecoles secondaires. Une discipline militaire y regnoit. Les ecoles de nos jours
ont beaucoup change mais la discipline reste tres importante. Le surveillant
general, tres severe, s'en occupe. II rode dans les couloirs vous observant pour
voir si des eleves s'agitent. Lorsqu'un eleve est attrape, le surveillant general lui
donne une refenue de deux heures le soir, ou encore pire, une retenue de quatre
heures le jeudi apres-midi. Mais pourquoi donne-t-on des retenues le jeudi?
En France il n'y a pas de classes le jeudi; par contre le samedi les eleves vont a
I'ecole. Ce systeme curieux est en partie du au programme des ecoles francaises.
Les professeurs vous donnent tant de travail que des le mercredi soir la fatigue
s'empare de vous. Le niveau des lycees est tres eleve. Le soir vous avez beaucoup
de devoirs a faire en mathematiques, des preparations de latin et toujours des
legons d'histoire ou de geographie a apprendre. Souvent lors des compositions
la moitie des eleves echouent.
Autre difference — les cours commencent d huit heures et se terminent
d midi. Les classes de I'apres-midi sont moins longues, en general de deux heures
d quatre heures, parfois jusqu'a cinq heures.
En France les garcons ne portent pas le meme uniforme qu'ici. Ms portent
un pantalon, une chemise de n'importe quelle couleur. Mais tous doivent mettre
un tablier comme les filles, ce qui ne leur plait pas.
Les garcons francais, contrairement aux Canadiens, protiquent peu de
sports. II y a souvent une heure, deux heures de gymnastique par semaine —
pas plus. On joue quelquefois au football, mais pas au hockey sur glace. Une
epreuve de natation est devenue maintenant obligatoire aux examens des
classes terminales.
Avec ce travail, les devoirs et les lecons, les eleves ne peuvent pas
organiser un club, une reunion, une conference. Quant a un bal, soit pour
I'equipe de football, soit pour les eleves de terminale, ce serait une veritable
revolution!

Junior School
It may be snowy, rainy, or just fall outside, but inside S.H.S. there is
brightness shining from the sunny faces in our junior classrooms.
Our smallest boys in Form D, come to school in September, bewildered
and a little scared, but it doesn't take them long to lose their shyness and make
friends.
They like to share experiences with others and so their "Public Speaking"
begins at an early age. We call it oral-compositions and here are a few samples:
"Spoken" Compositions by Form D.
One day, when I was going tobogganing, on that Saturday afternoon
it was zero outside. When we were tobogganing on the big hill, some snow
splashed into my face. I didn't like it and I had to close my eyes. My Daddy
pulled the toboggan with me on it because the snow was "windy".
When we were going tobogganing I saw my brother's sled. I whizzed
by him and he got a lot of snow in his face. I turned back. I had a cloth in my
pocket and I cleaned his face. Then I went slowly down the hill to I wouldn't
get snow in his face again.
I went to Quebec and the next day we went skiing. It was at a mountain
I had never been to before and the mountain was too high so I fell off the
ski-lifts all the time. I had to go between my Father's legs and then I never fell.
When I was skating, my dog was there and he chased my mitt. He
pulled it right off and then he ran right to the house.
On Friday my brother hod a birthday and his friends came. One friend
tipped the cake over and my Mother had to clean it up.
When we were having breakfast, our dog bothered us and he stuck
out his tongue for he wanted to have something. I went to the pantry and got
some Alpo for him and he stuck out his tongue again and started eating it.
A Class "Spoken" Composition
When we learn to skate we con ploy hockey. We have to have a hockey
stick to hit the puck. We have to put hockey tape on our sticks so we can hit
the puck more easily. We need a hockey helmet so if we fall we won't cut our
head open. We wear a hockey sweater and hockey socks then we don't get
cold. Hockey is exciting and we like it.
FORM C, though, looking very young, are poised and self-reliant. They know
the ups and downs of school-life. They can find the Office without a guide
whenever a scratched knee cries out for a bandaid and some motherly sympathy
from Miss Gault or Miss Severs.
They can skate, they can roll head over heels, they can stay to lunch,
and above all, they can READ, ADD, SUBSTRACT, MULTIPLY. They also like to
write their thoughts, and here is a sample of their work:
How I Made An Ashtray
Yesterday I made an ashtray for my mother. We put a kind of cement
on the mold so it would be sticky. I put coloured tile in the big mold. It was
fun putting the little tiles in the big mold. After that we made lots of a special
kind of paste, then I filled in the cracks that were left. When it was all dry we
cleaned it off and it was finished.

My Creepy-Crawler Set
The best toy I have in my room is a Creepy-Crawler set. The first thing
I made with it was a black toad. My Mummy does not like them, but when
she has to get up early I always put one in her bed, and that makes her jump
right out of bed. A few days after, I made a red snake with wire in it. One
day I made a ring for my sister. Once I had John over and we made Creepy-
Crawlers. John made ten and I made ten then John went home.
Peter HODGSON - age 7
My Favourite Toy
I lost my toy plane in the summer. It was my favourite toy. I could copy
the plane on a piece of paper. When it was close to Christmas, I was about
to ask for a plane, but I thought to myself that maybe I could find it again.
I did. I found my plane on Christmas day.
Marc WOLVIN - age 7
A Butterfly
If I were a butterfly I would be beautiful with colours. I would fly
slowly, I would fly high and see the birds, helicopters and airplanes too. I would
not like people.
John McKINNON - age 8
A Valentine Verse
To the best teacher I ever had.
Who taught me how to subtract and add.
There's only one way to say
Happy Valentine's day.
Sydney SCHREIBER - age 8
My favourite toy is my Meccano building set. I got it last Thursday. On
Sunday we started to build a dockside crane. My Daddy did not know it was
so complicated.
He said, "We can not finish this today". It was going to be very big.
I said, "We could use it to lift my engines"
My engines are not heavy. One of my engines is an army train, it pulls
five coaches. The other engine is a passenger train, it pulls six coaches. I am
getting another Meccano set for my birthday from my Granny and Grandfather.
John EMBIRICOS - age 7
If my pencil could talk, I wonder what he'd say? He'd probably tell me
his name. He might do some tricks. He would say, "I like you a lot. When you
drop me on the floor it hurts, and when you step on me it hurts too. I like it
when you get something right. I don't like being broken in two."
Kevin RATCLIFF - age 7
Now for the B's both 1 and 2; a noisy crew they are! Their chatter, they say, is
to teach Selim the minimum vocabulary necessary to ask for "a lot" or "medium"
at the dining table, and they have succeeded. It's good to hear his English now,
surprisingly apt.
Here is a sample of their writing which we hope you will enjoy.

The Dark Blue Sea
The dark blue sea where I swim
Is the very best place to be.
Where the ships and fishes skim
Is the nicest place to me.
Bob ORVIG - age 9
A Crocrodile
I was at the Nile,
I sow a crocodile.
He snapped his teeth,
He wore a wreath,
He gave a little smile.
He also wore a hat.
Now what do you think of that!
He saw a fish.
And made a wish.
Upon a rock he sat.
Richard SMALL - Age 8
The Birds Fly
The birds fly.
High in the sky.
They hunt for worms,
They often get germs.
They are 'fraid of cats.
Maybe of bats,
They fly fly,
High in the sky.
The Crow
Richard SMALL - age 8
The crow flew away
But wanted to stay
Flew up to a tree
There stung by a bee
Then down to the ground
There chased by a hound
He flew off to Rome
Which was home sweet home.
James TURNER - age 8
Now for the A's
We will all agree with A2 that jingles and verses are fun to write, and
between the labour of Arithmetic, backward glances into history, flying around
the world in geography and a little chatter in French, poetry does elevate and
feed the soul.
There is no lack of imagination in this group and they like to find the
right words to clothe their thoughts.
To do justice to the accomplishments of the eager and informed young
men of Al, we would need more room than we have at our disposal. A few
samples of their work will serve to show their calibre.

Fisherman's Luck
There is a story, as you are aware,
Of fisherman's luck in the eyes of a bear.
A hunter went fishing besides a stream.
And the rest of the story is more like a dream.
He sat by the water his line cast out.
In hope of a bite from a perch or a trout.
As he sat by the bank he heard a groan.
And suddenly found he was not alone.
On the other side by the water blue
A big block bear was fishing too.
In the shallow stream beneath the trees
It was scooping out fishes by twos and by threes.
The hunter quickly let out a screech
And bear ran off to get out of reach.
The hunter crossed to the other shore
And the bear disappeared to be soon no more.
And the pile of fish the bear did snatch
Became a part of the hunters catch.
Nicholas TOULMIN - age 9
The Fire
I often sit by the fire.
I watch the flames fly high and low.
The flames turn from blue to orange.
And green also.
I often think of the wood,
And wonder if logs could be
From the same tree.
Andrew COTTINGHAM - age 10
I Wonder
To play croquet you need a wicket.
If you hove a bat you can play cricket.
But, have you ever wondered,
What rich people play?
Do they play the some sports day after day?

I Opened The Door
One weekend, I was staying up at my Grandparents and decided to
explore my surroundings. I went up to the attic and there 1 found a huge
bureau with a door in the front. I opened the door.
Somehow there seemed to be a vast desert inside this massive bureau.
I stepped inside and walked along. After I hod walked a couple of miles I met
a man. He said to me, "Run, or you will soon be the victim of the sand monster
who disguises himself by turning into sand." Those same couple of miles I had
walked a few minutes ago, I now ran as fast as I could. It was no use, the
door had closed by itself, so, all I could do was hope for the best and try to
make my last hours my happiest.
86 SELWYNHOUSESCHOOLMAGAZINE
After a couple of hours it happened. The thing which I most certainly
thought would be my end. The sand monster come upon me. "Ah" It said, "I see
I hove some breakfast."
It was coming and I said, "You old sand monster you" I ran and hit the
door. It flung open.
Right then it said "Room temperature, the only thing that can kill me."
Then, it died.
After that I ran into my Grandmother's arms. "Where were you? I've
been looking for you," she said. I told her my story. She laughed and said I
should lie down to ease my nerves and I did. After that I never again walked
into bureaux with deserts inside.

Road Racing
Road racing is a very dangerous and exciting sport. The racers could win
thousand of dollars or cripple themselves for life.
They have to be very careful on the curves for if they go too fast they
could shoot over the guard rails and plummet over the cliff. Many racers
have been killed this way; but if they do win they get a trophy and ten
thousand dollars. If they lose, people still look up to them as brave courageous
men.
Rood Racing pays off when you win or lose, except when you get killed
at the game.
Gregg LALIBERTE - age 10
A Television Programme
One very, very interesting programme I saw was the voyage of Sir
Robert Falcon Scott to the South Pole. He had decided to take some of the
just invented motor cars with him on the trip. He went to Norway with them
to test them on snow. While there he met a man whose "pupil" was Amundsen,
another great explorer who was going to the North Pole. Scott told him that
he was taking on his trip dogs, horses and cars. The man replied that he was
taking, when he went with Amundsen, dogs, dogs, and more dogs!
At last they were away! But disappointment awaited them. They found
Amundsen had changed his mind and was going to antarctic too!
When they finally reached the shores of the huge unwanted continent
they mode base camp and Scott gave his plans;
"First we encounter a few hundred miles of flat but soft and deep snow.
After that is the Great Barrier and mountains, this covers about two hundred
miles. Then comes a plateau of another few hundred miles and then the Pole."
After that bad luck and death were regular visitors. To start with the
motorcars almost immediately crumbled to nothing but scrap-iron. Then the
exhausted ponies and dogs had to be killed for food.
Scott led four men and himself the last miles to the Pole. But the most
bitter disappointment awaited them. Amundsen had come and gone! And only
the torn fluttering flag of Norway remained.
FORTHESCHOOLYEAR1967-1968 87
It was a disappointed group that left the Pole towards where they hod
left the rest of the group. Little did they know that they were never to see
anyone again. Already one man had a badly frost-bitten hand, and he died.
Then a man called Soldier went out in a blizzard and was never seen again.
And then one by one they all died. Then the Russians appeared on the scene
and found Scott's diary which opened up all of his explorations to the world.

My Life As A School Bag
My life started when a very nice man named Tony, put me up on a sort
of flat thing, in front of something, that I thought was nothing but, when I tried
to walk through it I bumped my clip.
I stayed like this for several days, until one day somebody, that looked
like Tony, but much smaller, came into the shop and said he wanted to buy me.
Tony picked me up and placed me on another flat thing. The small Tony took
out of his pocket some green stuff and some round silver things and gave them
to Tony. Then he picked me up and walked out of the shop.
The next day he put some very heavy things in me. i think he expected
me to carry them somewhere. Oh! but no, I wasn't going to carry anything
anywhere. I quickly stood on my head and the things fell out but the boy put
them back in, and closed my lid. I had to carry them somewhere, but where?
The little Tony picked me up and put me on his back. That was better than I
thought; I was going to have a piggy-back to wherever it was. When I got there
the things were taken out of me and I rested on the floor all day. At the end of
the day, I rode home on my masters back.
It was like this for a couple of months and life wasn't too hard on me.
A. PURVIS - age 10
How The First-Flute Was Made
Tribe boy wandered down to the river's edge to see the hunters push
away. When he got there, they had already left and were barely in sight.
Disappointed, he thought of them trying to kill on antelope with their blowguns.
At that moment, he noticed some bamboo canes the right size for a
small blowgun. With a sharpened stone, he cut a cane, inserted a pointed stick
into its hollow, and put it to his lips. He blew. The stick darted out, but, as he
kept blowing, was followed by a shrill whistle. Tribe Boy was astonished. He
blew again unto the hollow cane and the same thing happened over and over
again.
Then, he wanted to find out if all the bamboo canes made the same
sound. He cut a few, a little carelessly, so that they were all of different lengths.
He was very surprised when all the sounds, too, came out differently.
With the canes safely tucked under his arm, he ran to the chief to show
him his discovery. Then, he called the other boys, gave them each a cone, and
told them to blow with him, all at the same time. They did, and it was weirdest
sound you could imagine.
It was an adventure in music: the first flute was invented and the first
orchestra had begun.

A Jungle Scene
In the jungle buzzing insects crowd the tangled undergrowth and gaily-
coloured parrots flit about in the dim light that gets through the many tall trees.
It is morning and a loud roar sends the chattering monkeys screaming through
the trees. Up to the top they go, for that was the roar of the jaguar, a sound
that sends every peace loving animal running. The jaguar is awesome to
behold, when its lithe muscles ripple and it crouches for the spring.
Only the most able and strong men can survive in the jungle near the
mighty Amazon river, for the buzzing insects and the heat is too much for
many a man in that rain forest.
Now and then a jeep goes over the half hidden track. The jungle is a
domain for animals — not men.
Eric STEVENSON - age 10
The Lighthouse
The flashing light at the very top of the lighthouse warns any passing
ship of the danger lying at its feet. Every night the lighthouse keeper lights
that gleaming light that pierces the intense darkness outside. The angry waves
shoot flying spray high into the air as they crash against the jagged rocks.
Then the wind and waves ceases their raging fury and, peace again fills the
sky above the lighthouse. All is still. The only sounds are the screaming seagulls
wheeling high overhead and the pounding of waves against the rocks.

THE JUNIOR SCHOOL CONTRIBUTES
TO OUR CHRISTMAS ENTERTAINMENT
Two French plays were under the direction of Madame Dorland.
Page D'Ecriture
At the front of the class stood the teacher looking and listening while
four pretty little girls and three times as many boys recited the lesson. Among
them were the keen, the argumentative, the disinterested and the dreamer. His
eyes lit up as a bird entered and disrupted the class. With some difficulty the
teacher endeavoured to gain the class's attention and, almost succeeded.
This play was written by Jacques Prevent and was enjoyable and thought-
provoking to adults and understandable for children.

From far and near came the French peasants, lusty cowboys and charm-

they were silent and reverently presented their offerings. The natural sweetness
of their voices as they sang was most appealing.

chanting to the background music, while Henry, in plumed hot and rich velvet,

a tankard lifted high, sprawled in his chair. As the clock struck twelve a ghost
appeared and the voices of the guards rose.
"With her head tucked underneath her arm.
She walked the bloody tower."
"Are you Anne Boleyn or one of my other wives?" screamed Henry. The
ghost dodged here, the ghost dodged there.
This spectacular and colourful scene was enthusiastically greeted and
the younger audience loved the ghost.

An Unfinished Tale
In the action and dialogue of this play much of the pathos and humour
of Dickens is revealed. The forecasts on the sandwich boards aroused in us an
awareness of what was to come. The gruelling scene in the poorhouse, "the
education" of Oliver Twist by the past masters of "pocket-picking" and his
acceptance v/ere very well portrayed by young actors, of considerable talent.

A note from the art teacher
Art is everywhere about us, like air, earth, trees - nature. Art is not
only in museums or galleries, but in everything we make to please our senses.
It involves every aspect of life, from ones choice of a table cloth to an appre-
ciation of nature. Art is as varied as the people who practise it.
Some people like painting, some hate collages (most of the boys in AD,
some hate underwater design (Simon Sachs.) Some prefer photography (Anthony
Armstrong Jones, Mark Newton Selwyn House), some like psychedelic wall-
paper (Eric Stevenson), some like chiselling (Michelangelo, Rodin, Christopher
Shannon).
People design cars, pictures, clothes, their personal appearance, furniture,
("The art room should be changed too. The lights should be chandeliers": Gordon
Roper), architecture, the flowers for their gardens; all are a process of choice.
Design is in every aspect of life, taste is in every aspect of life, and the choices
involved in taste and design are art. "Learning" art is a process of learning to
make choices, learning to prefer. Some prefer discipline with whistles (Mrs.
Sutton), some do not like it (Julian Heller), some prefer not to use charcoal
(George Jenkins), some prefer blue paint (Picasso 1901-1904).
All opinions are valid, providing they are based on a trained eye, an
informed personal preference, a sincere joie de vivre.
Art is fun, art is life . . .

Old Boys Section
This being our Jubilee year, the Old Boys' Section is largely taken up
with reminiscences from Old Selwyn House Boys and Staff who have so kindly
sent in their contributions upon request from our editorial staff. Before we come
to these reminiscences we have three announcements with regard to Selwyn
House Old Boys : —
Doctor Richard B. GOLDBLOOM, B.Sc, M.D., CM., F.R.C.P: (C) has resign-
ed as Associate Professor of Pediatrics, McGill University and as Physician to the
Montreal Children's Hospital with which he has been closely associated since
1954. His contribution in both clinical core and medical research has been
outstanding, and his wit, charm and warm personality will be sorely missed
by his many friends. Doctor Goldbloom takes up a new post in October as
Professor and Head of the Department of Pediatrics, Dalhousie University, and
Physician-in-Chief and Director of Research, The Children's Hospital, Halifax, N.S.
Ralph Charles Sutherland WALKER, B.A. McGill, 1964, has been elected
a Junior Fellow of Merton College, Oxford. He went to Balliol as a Rhodes
Scholar in 1964 and took his B.Phil, degree there in 1966. In 1967 he was
awarded the Bonk of Montreal Centennial Fellowship in the Humanities, and he
recently won the John Locke Prize for Mental Philosophy at Oxford. He is the
elder son of Ralph S. Walker, Molson Professor of English at McGill, and his
younger brother, David A. C. Walker, B.A. McGill, 1966, is also at Oxford,
preparing at Lincoln College to take a B.Phil, degree in English.
MONTREAL STUDENT HEADS CLARK UNIVERSITY COMMITTEE
WORCESTER, Mass. — Barry J. Lazar of Montreal, Quebec has been elected
chairman of the Public Relations Committee of the Clark University Student
Council.
A freshman at Clark, he is a 1967 graduate of Selwyn House School,
Montreal.
He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Larry A. Lazor of 172 Beverley Ave.,
Montreal.
Looking Back
To a man of average income, it is difficult to imagine the vastness of a
million dollars. In the same way, to a boy of six years of age, the celebration
of a sixtieth anniversary means "Congratulations" (because he has been told it
does) and perhaps a fleeting wonder as to how old the Headmaster is, when
the anniversary applies to Selwyn House School — his school.

SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE
SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS 1968
{E>avid Ballantyne was the 1st son of an Old Boy,
Mr. Michael Ballantyne, to receive a scholarship)
To the members of the seventh form, two major wars between 1914-1918
and 1939-1945 are merely historical facts, even if their fathers took part in the
last war. Travelling by 'plane is a commonplace event, and atom bombs, space
exploration, electric guitars, transistor radios, etc., a normal part of their lives.
Montreal, shorn of its skyscrapers, would be utterly unfamiliar to them. Yet all
of these modern triumphs have developed in the sixty years since Selwyn House
School was founded in 1908. Yes, it is a long time, and during these years of
the most momentous world history the school has steadily progressed to keep
pace with the demands of those changing times.
Many of our present boys entered Selwyn House, then a "prep" school,
while it was still at Redpath Street, its "home" from 1930 until, in 1961, it
moved to the larger building it now occupies, in order to add tenth and eleventh
year classes and thus enable boys to sit School Certificate examinations. These
boys will remember the former school premises as a compact red-brick building,
with a small gymnasium, a small laboratory, and, in the new wing, a dining-
hall lined with books, since it was also the library, with two large classrooms
built above the dining-hall to odd to those in the main building. Since neither
the gymnasium nor the hall was large enough to accommodate the school body
and the parents, prizegivings were held elsewhere, for the most port at Moyse
Hall, McGill University.
Hov/ever, as any Old Boys know, 'twos not ever thus. In the dim past
of the late 1 920's, it was a gracious, somewhat old-fashioned house with wooden
balconies, surrounded by trees and grass, a fitting counterpart to the rest of
quiet, residential Redpath Street. The street being a cul-de-sac, the traffic pro-
blem did not exist; the residents could walk their dogs peacefully, and small
FORTHESCHOOLYEAR1967-1968 VS
boys cross the road without danger. In fact, it was considered an ideal location
for a school by parents and boys alike (though it is doubtful whether the neigh-
bours entirely shared their enthusiasm).
There the school quietly prospered, and in spite of the grim depression
days of the thirties it continued to flourish. The school gained an impressive
academic reputation, and the boys from Selwyn House "Prep" School were
welcomed into colleges throughout Canada, the United States and Britain.
An established and unvarying routine, with a time-table that was always the
same, continued until the years of the Second World War, and each year
produced, almost as a matter of course, winners of valuable scholarships
awarded to eighth and ninth grade students by other schools.
The pleasant custom, which still survives, of decorating the walls of the
passages and the stairs with the photographs, taken annually, of the top forms
and various teams, provides a history in itself. Apart from the excitement of
recognising among the many young faces a now prominent industrialist, lawyer,
doctor, judge or member of Parliament, there are the members of the staff
\^ho joined Selwyn House in its early days and spent the greater part of their
lives in the service of the school. The few remaining members of the "old guard"
still connected with the school from those days, as well as numerous Old Boys
and parents, would be eager to pay tribute to those no longer of this world,
but very much alive in our memories.
The photographs show a young, handsome Mr Joe Anstey aging grace-
fully through the years until he fmally grew a grey beard! His inspired teaching
contributed much to the honour and glory of the school. He became almost a
legend, and he was certainly a most memorable "character", worthy of an
essay on his own account, who left his imprint on every boy he taught and who
is remembered by each of them with grateful affection.
Major Cyril Jackson, who, like Mr Anstey, was with the school for many
years, was celebrated for his Latin hexameters and his academic humour. His
classes were enlivened by personal reminiscences which were quoted over and
over again, and his pupils kept in close touch with him, visiting him often while
they pursued their studies at McGill.
Miss Bruce and Miss Snead, colleagues and friends of Mr Wanstall
during his assistant master days at Selwyn House, and later when he became
Headmaster, inspired respectful awe in the breasts of their many young charges,
who nevertheless discovered a special delight when they earned praise from
these admirable teachers — it was really worth a bit of pain and grief!
In 1934 Mr Howis joined the Selwyn House staff and, in no time at all
became "Pop" to every boy in the school, and remained "Pop" during the many
years until he retired. At his death, over two hundred letters from Old Boys from
all parts of the world were received by his family.
During the years between 1930 and 1945 the school was privately
owned, and from 3.30 each school day, and of course at week-ends and during
the holidays, the building became the headmaster's private residence. No one
was permitted to stay after 3.30; the playground and the rink were out of
bounds to the boys; there were no staff meetings or parent-staff meetings, no
Board of Governors, and only one "social" event (the June prizegiving) a year.
This sounds delightful and simple, but when one lived on Pine Avenue, stag-
gering up the hill laden with the day's accumulation of exercise books to be
marked made the boys' loaded satchels seem very small potatoes! As soon as
the boys and the staff vacated the school each afternoon, rugs were spread over
the coconut matting which covered halls and stairs during business hours, trans-
forming the house into a home, and the headmaster's study became his salon.
96 SELWYNHOUSESCHOOLMAGAZINE
Up to this time, the policy of the school hod been simple — a "nose to
the grindstone", sound basic education in the three R's, without frills. Cricket
hod always been a "must", and a skiing competition was an annual event;
hockey matches were played with BCS, Ashbury and Sedburgh.
Upon the death of Mr Wanstall in May 1945, Selwyn House became a
non-profit organisation, and a Board of Governors was elected. With the end
of the war the new regime began the first of the many projects necessary for a
preparatory school to keep pace with rapidly changing conditions and require-
ments.
As the school grew in numbers, the dear old building proved to have
its limitations, although countless Old Boys will recall certain features with
nostalgic affection — the fun of going down the canvas chutes at firedrills; the
utter joy of floating paper boats in the junior locker-rooms when they became
flooded during the spring thaw and after thunderstorms; the ceilings which
occasionally descended on unsuspecting classes. Changes were necessary. First
of all we acquired a gymnasium-cum-dining-holl. A little later the enlarged
locker-rooms were equipped with steel lockers; then come a small but efficient
laboratory; and finally an impressive new wing. In this was a beautiful dining-
hall, and the books were brought down from the Wanstall Memorial Library
from its small room on the second floor; a new and modern kitchen, an apart-
ment for the superintendent and his family, and additional classrooms on the
second floor, with a ladies' common-room, as well as a new office, were
included in this extension.
Other novelties, of a less obvious nature, came during these sixteen
years. Parents met the staff at special "at homes"; dramatic entertainments,
singing classes and choir performances, and gymnastic displays, were intro-
duced to bring parents and school closer together. Detention classes were a
less popular but often well-patronised innovation, at one time providing occu-
pation for Saturday mornings. A house system to encourage competition, with
the four houses named after the four headmasters the school has known —
Mr Lucas, Mr Macaulay, Mr Wanstall, and Mr Speirs — helped to foster many
extra-curricular activities.
A few years later on important decision was made — to add tenth and
eleventh grade classes to the existing grades. This meant another forty or fifty
boys to be added to the roll, and the building on Redpoth Street, now distinctive
with its amazing profusion of fire-escapes, did not allow of any further extension.
Finally, the moving day of all moving days arrived, and Selwyn House said
"Good-bye" to the old house and prepared to settle in its new, handsome
greystone edifice on Cote St Antoine Road. Mingled with nostalgic regrets were
high hopes for the future.
Apart from all the heavy furniture, over five hundred cartons were
carefully packed and boldly marked with their destination — "Headmaster's
Study", "Office", "Classroom X" and so on, with the details of their contents.
Every detail was carefully planned and explained to the men in charge of the
removal. Imagine the horror when it was discovered that practically everything
had been deposited in the gymnasium, almost from floor to ceiling! The
workers were Italians, who neither spoke nor read English. All that they could
recognise was that the cartons were obviously all from a brewery! Ah, well!
Time heals.
The past sixty years are worthy of celebration. May the future prove to
be as prosperous and as successful as the past.

Some More Reminiscences
I would like very much to be able to write some interesting comments
about the early days of the School. Possibly I may be forgiven if my memory
doesn't produce anything brilliant as I realize it is very close to sixty years since
I first went to Mr. Lucas's on Mackay Street.
In those days (I think it must have been 1909 or 1910) the School was
located in a house on the west side of Mackay Street not very far above St.
Catherine. The classroom where I belonged was on the top floor and seemed
to consist of two bedrooms made into one large room by knocking down the
partition which ordinarily would have separated them.
1 can remember well three teachers of that day: Mr. Lucas, Mr. Anstey
and Mr. St. George.
Possibly I could do a little better job if I knew who the pupils were at
that time but not even remembering exactly the year makes it rather hard to
write interesting reminiscences.
Yours sincerely,
George C. MARLER
"My years at Selwyn House were 1926-1933. This gave me an oppor-
tunity to spend the first couple of years at "Macaulay's" on Sherbrooke Street,
then a couple of years on Mackay Street, and finally three years at the fine
"New School Building" on Redpath Street under the headmastership of Geoff
Wanstall.
My most vivid memories are the Coliseum for hockey and the old
Westmount M.A.A.A. grounds for football and track - the No. 3 St. Catherine
Street streetcar to the M.A.A.A. was a 3^2C ride!
The long suffering masters I remember best were C. T. Anstey who
handed out sandwiches to the favoured and "scrags" to the rest. Mr. Davis
who could pick you off with a piece of chalk even if you sat in the back row,
Robin Pattisson who never lost his love for the Old Country, and Mr. Holiday
who enjoyed the French language as much as Rene Levesque but for a different
reason.
I thought it was a good school then just as I believe it is a great school
today thanks to Robert Speirs and a number of devoted Board Chairmen."
G. DRUMMOND BIRKS
I was at Selwyn House from 1939 to 1946. In those days, the school was
still on Redpath Street (which looked very different than it does now), and since
the school didn't take people up to junior matric, we graduated from Sixth
form into some other more "senior" school: a lot of boys went to boarding school
-TCSor BCS.
If I ask myself what I remember clearest of my time there, in first place
comes the iron discipline of Geoff Wanstall, but not far behind almost as clear
and much happier, come the pies we used to have for lunch in those days.
They set a standard which has remained unbeaten in my experience since,
although it may just be that I was more susceptible during those early years.
Both the above are what you might call physical memories. Educationally,
my most unforgettable experience was the English class of Patrick Anderson.
He opened Wordsworth for us, and then Keats, and through Keats all poetry;
and through poetry rebellion. One would have to forget a lot to forget that.

We were a very happy lot in the old school on McKay Street where I
started before World War I. I remember on several occasions getting there so
early that Mr. Lucas gave me a second breakfast. I am not sure about inter-
school competition but I think we had an annual hockey match with Wykeham
House, a prep school in Westmount on Oliver (?) Avenue which wore very
striking colours, something like Queen's University. We played our hockey at
the Coliseum on Guy Street below Dorchester where the Martinique Motor Inn
is now located. I recall when the Montreal Arena at St. Catherine St. and Wood
Avenue (the predecessor of the Forum) burnt down running all the way from
the Coliseum on my skates so as not to miss any of it.
G. M. HYDE
(Mr. Justice Hyde)
You asked for some recollections. All mine are of the Redpoth Street
school, and many are unprintable. I recall the P. A. system in the classrooms
through which the headmaster was supposed to eavesdrop on proceedings —
two horse-shoe shaped marks cost onto the ceiling by a light in the Form A
room, I think, which were supposed to be Mr. Wanstoll's footprints as he stood
above us. The competition to see who could eat lunch in the fewest number of
bites; (sausages, mashed potatoes and cake for dessert was the best combination
and could result in as few as three bites.) The rather dingy facilities for hanging
up coats — 1 hook plus one pigeon hole — before the new gym was built. Mr.
Wanstall standing on the second floor by the bookcase as the boys came in in the
morning to 'welcome' them. Box lunches in the dining-room during the war (a
banana skin someone tossed into the overhanging light stayed there for some
time.)
Many things hove not changed. I note a good deal of boll hockey is
still played and the larger boys still pick on the smaller boys. One disadvantage
of progress. Mr. Speirs did used to excuse the sixth form from English Lit. now
and again to shovel the rink. I see the mechanical age has hit the school now.
Playing hockey in the old 'Coliseum' where the Martinique Motor Hotel
is now was some fun. I recall being in goals when the Under-15 team shut out
Ashbury 1-0 with Gordon Currie getting the one goal.
Mr. Phillips was the only master, I believe, at the school when I started
in Form A in 1942 that is still there now — extraordinary patience! His and
Mr. Speir's efforts at teaching me English Composition were lost, I'm afraid!
A. R. McKlM
... As I searched my memory for incidents of some general interest it
became obvious that I could remember more from my school-days in the 30's
than I could from my school-mastering days in the 60's — a sobering sign of
age which almost unnerved me, but once started the tap was difficult to turn off.
I remember with clarity (and some discomfort) the rather austere count-
enance of Mr. Wanstall as he patrolled the hallways beckoning with the index
finger of his right hand to any recalcitrant found pressing as close as possible
to the doorway from which he hod just been ejected but unable to hide either
his terror or his body from that steely gaze. The beckoning finger could mean
only one thing and, with bulging eyes and watery knees, the malplaisant is led
to the great leather armchair in the H.M.'s study and there . . . but the rest is
best forgotten. When, a number of years later, I was to walk into that same
study looking for a job instead of a place to hide, I was unable to take my
eyes from that same armchair which hod lost none of its awful attraction.
FORTHESCHOOLYEAR1967-1968 99
Who can think of the school in Redpath Street without thinking of the
gravel compound beside it? The two of course were inseparable and daily two
gentlemanly games were fought in this grey battleground. The first was a before-
school appetizer — two lines were drawn up defending the boards at either
end and a tennis ball was thrown from one line to the other, the purpose being
to hit the boards at the opposite end. If the ball was caught, five giant strides
were exacted before it was returned to the other end. The raison d'etre was
sometimes lost in the heat of battle and any felled opponent tended to count
as much or more than the splintering of those venerable boards.
The other game took place at mid-morning break when the 6th Form
took on all comers in a game which could be likened to football (a charitable
comparison) except that possession of the tennis ball this time was the sole
criterion of success or failure. The 6th Formers usually formed a solid phalanx
around their weakest link who strutted up and down untouched by those who
battered at the ring around him. Twenty-five years later, when I looked at that
same battleground through the eyes of a schoolmaster I wondered if either of
these games contributed to the development of a typical Selwyn Houser — or
the downfall of a Napoleon.
Inevitably perhaps my memories of the school as I saw it in the 60's
are of the boys who were there at that time, while my memories of the 30's
are heavily flavoured with Jocko's stories of the 1st World War, Herbie Wise-
man's racoon coat and his chalet at Ste. Adele, Joe Anstey's dots and crosses on
the blackboard and his vest with its colourful array of 6th Form pins.
A spin of the wheel of memory twenty-five years later might stop at any
of the following scenes — Pokey Dobell trying to master the first congruence
theorem in Geometry (he is probably still trying to master it); Phil Thorn carrying
the 1961-62 Under-13 hockey team on his back while I shuddered behind the
bench expecting the roof on the ice-hockey rink to fall about my ears at any
moment; John McCallum, Jody Allison, Stuart Cryer and Danny Roden who,
each in his own form, forced me to keep not just 3 pages ahead but 33 — and
even then I didn't feel completely safe; Hugh Roberts in the boxing ring stalking
his opponent; Peter McLeod in the Verdun rink, a scramble of arms, legs and
shin pads. The flow of memories continues but I must stop it somewhere and
perhaps the thought of Rudolph Muller appealing for a second chance (or a
third or a fourth) is enough to break the spell.
